Beloved, please do not be easily deceived by, or quickly join in agreement or covenant with anyone no matter how much flattery or good words they say to you. Pray and ask for God’s counsel, direction and approval and HE will reveal them to you. We must be careful who we let into our lives and we must be discerning. Test all spirits to see if they are false or of God
Joshua 9:14-16 (Read 1‐18 for Context)
14 Then the men of Israel took some of their provisions; but they [e]did not ask counsel of the Lord.
15 So Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them to let them live; and the rulers of the congregation swore to them.
16 And it happened at the end of three days, after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors who dwelt near them.
1 Thessalonians 5:19-22
19 Do not quench the Spirit.
20 Do not despise prophecies.
21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.
22 Abstain from every form of evil.
